DIGI@WAVE and DIGI@PULS solut Provided with the latest digital technology, the DIGI@WAVE and DIGI@PULS power sources offer new welding methods that respond perfectly to the technical developments taking place in industry. These innovative processes guarantee the quality and productivity levels demanded by modern welding applications. Short Arc The Short Arc has a low spatter rate with good wetting and is suited to welding thin steel plate, working in position and penetration passes This regime is characterized by alternating short circuits and light arc. Speed Short Arc (SSA ) The Speed Short Arc allows a high travel speed due to a rigid arc and a cold regime. It is very effective for welding thin steel plates, working in position and in closed angle and filling bevels. The SSA is used for short circuit welding though the normal globular regime travel speed domain. SSA advantages Increase in travel speed Reduced distortion (thin steel sheets) Suited to welding in position Tolerance and usability NEW Main applications of SSA : Earth Moving Plant Infrastructure Agricultural machines, Trailers Pulsed The pulsed system is recommended for welding stainless steel and aluminium. It guarantees the mechanical characteristics of the joint and limits spatter. The pulsed regime is a waveform which forces the drops of metal to become detached, the hot period projects the drop and the cold period allows the weld pool to cool. 38 Soft Silence Pulse (SSP )* The Soft Silence Pulse is a quieter pulsed mode mainly intended for stainless steel welding applications. The SSP produces a softer but very stable arc with good wetting of the weld bead. This waveform significantly reduces spatter and gives a very fine appearance to the weld bead. SSP advantages Reduction of noise Good wetting of the weld bead Reduction of spatter Good weld bead appearance NEW Main applications of SSP : Tanks, containers Boiler making Foodstuff and chemical equipment * Soft Silence Pulse and Spray-MODAL are only available on DIGI@WAVE
ions 2006-032 2006-034 2006-037 Soft Silence Pulse Cold Double Pulse Spray-MODAL Cold Double Pulse (CDP ) Cold Double Pulse produces very high quality welds on thin material while avoiding distortion. CDP gives a TIG appearance to the weld and is very effective on very thin aluminium or stainless steel sheet (< 2mm). The operating technique is made easier due to good control of the weld pool even on badly-prepared sheets. This sequencer mode automatically chains hot arc and cold arc regimes together. Main applications of CDP : Naval Rail Fine metalwork CDP advantages Effective on thin sheets Reduces distortion Easy operating technique TIG appearance weld bead NEW MIG Brazing MIG Brazing is extremely effective on thin sheets and accepts large joint tolerances. This process is widely used in the automobile industry as it gives good mechanical characteristics and conserves the coating of galvanized sheets. It is an advantageous replacement for flame brazing processes with the productivity of semi-automatic welding. MIG Brazing advantages Effective on thin coated sheets Reduces distortion Large joint tolerance Good mechanical characteristics Main applications of MB: Automobile, heavy vehicles Metal furniture. Air conditioning Spray-MODAL (SM )* Spray-MODAL is a process that strongly reduces micro porosity and increases penetration. It can be used in all positions and is particularly effective on aluminium sheets greater than 3 mm. Spray- MODAL uses a low-frequency modulated current which has the effect of removing most hydrogen bubbles from the weld pool before solidification. Spray-MODAL advantages Reduces porosity Increases penetration All-position welding Higher travel speed Main applications of SM : Naval Rail Boiler making 39
